Re: Low density or high?
I have 3 high density 512mb chips... am I good to go? Try before you buy is the best way. Or ask the seller to confirm they’ll work in your specific model. Actually, I thought all Macs needed low-density RAM -- it seems it gives better performance or reliability -- but if you have those chips already, there’s no harm in putting them in and try it out. Just take care of handling them correctly regarding electrostatics (grounded wrist wrap) but you knew that. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Later models may, indeed, accept low density or so-called high density. No matter, really, it takes what it takes. As I own and use NO MDD or later Macs, excepting a lone first-generation Mac Mini, I ONLY buy those sticks which are guaranteed to operate on my SPECIFIC machines. Case closed, I guess. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Low density or high?
I have 3 high density 512mb chips... am I good to go? You know, there are so-called high density RAM which are actually low density RAM, but are stacked two-chips-high, and these, too, also present problems. My Brother printers (several kinds, including 5-in-1 monochrome and a 4-color) require up to 512 MB sticks, but these MAY NOT BE two-high ... no room for them). Standard density 512 MB are OK for them, and also for my Pismo. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
